One big thing
Former WWE star Jeff Hardy has openly admitted to feeling “guilt and shame” about his run in AEW, vowing not to repeat similar mistakes in his current stint with TNA Wrestling.
Why it matters
Hardy’s candid admission sheds light on the personal struggles that affected his AEW tenure and highlights the importance of second chances in professional wrestling.
By the numbers
• Hardy spent over 2 years in AEW
• He made his AEW debut in March 2022
• Hardy missed a year of action following a June 2022 DUI arrest
What they’re saying
Hardy expressed his regrets and future goals on Busted Open Radio:
• “I have so much guilt and shame within me still, just from AEW giving me an opportunity — and even Matt — to me breaking trust with my personal issues in real life.”
• “I will not break TNA’s trust. That is in my past, and it feels good to have somewhat of a clean slate with all that stuff and kind of start fresh.”
The big picture
Hardy’s return to TNA with his brother Matt represents a chance for redemption and a fresh start in their careers. Their goal is to win the TNA Tag Team Championships, currently held by ABC (Ace Austin & Chris Bey).
What’s next
The Hardys have already secured a DQ win over former TNA Tag Team Champions The System (Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards), positioning themselves as potential contenders for the titles.
